The 7 Baby Steps are a proven, step-by-step plan to take control of your money and build wealth. First, save $1,000 as a starter emergency fund. Then, knock out all debt except your house. Once you’re debt-free, build up 3–6 months of expenses. From there, you’ll invest, save for college, and pay off your home early so you can live and give like no one else. Follow this plan and you’ll change your life forever. | Dave Ramsey
